Chapter 11: Fragrant Rose

"Young Miss Xiao, what is it that you want from me?" A woman in green asked.

Zhu Xiao Wan put the cup of tea in her hand down and said, "I want to hire Miss Sui."

Miss Sui was stunned, she looked at the thirteen years old girl in front of her, "Why should I work for you?"

"I intended to open a clothing store called Fragrant Rose. I need someone to run it in my stead," Zhu Xiao Wan said, "Miss Sui knows a more about clothing than me."

Miss Sui said, "Basically, Young Miss Xiao want me to run the shop for you?"

Zhu Xiao Wan said, "Yes, I just want to be the boss in the shadow. When the business will become prosperous, you will get 20% of the earning."

"20%!?" Miss Sui was flabbergasted, "That's a lot!"

"So, is Miss Sui accepting to do the job?" She asked.

"Sure."

They discussed and Zhu Xiao Wan gave some ideas from her previous life. When she departed from the place, it was afternoon. Wandering around she ran into Han Xia Miao. She wanted to avoid getting into meaningless arguments but Han Xia Miao already spotted her.

At the restaurant, because Zhu Xiao Wan was with Ning Rou Li, she had disliked her. At the Princess' banquet, Zhu Xiao Wan became Ning Rou Li's cousin. Now that she saw Zhu Xiao Wan, Han Xia Miao just want to vent her anger on that day at the restaurant on her, "Hey! You think that because your Ning Wang's niece, you can ignore me!?"

With Han Xia Miao's yell, it attracted some people. Knowing that if she didn't do anything today, this Han Xia Miao would bother her again in the future. In a flash, Zhu Xiao Wan was shoulder to shoulder with Han Xia Miao. The martial arts she learned allowed her to run at a faster speed than the norms. Can't be compared to cultivators though, but this is impressive for people who did not have their contractual spirit awaken yet. Putting her hand on Han Xia Miao's shoulder, she said in a low voice, "I can easily get rid of you. Even if you may scheme, the result will not be in your favour. You're smart, right?"

"Ahhh! My arm!" Han Xia Miao screamed after Zhu Xiao Wan left. She wanted to shout, 'What did you do to my arm!' but she remembered Zhu Xiao Wan's last sentence. If she said anything that would expose Zhu Xiao Wan's real personality, she would be killed.

But how!? Zhu Xiao Wan couldn't cultivate yet!

When Zhu Xiao Wan put her hand on Han Xia Miao's shoulder, she inserted some of Lianzhou's aura to paralyzed her arm for two days. Han Xia Miao was fifteen, but she was still a Third Stage Red Spirit. Hence, just the aura of Lianzhou was enough to deal with her.

-----

Half lying on the wooden couch, Zhu Xiao Qian recalled Zhu Xiao Wan's words. She said that for now, she would start a business and deal with the money for the future Zhu Family that they would recreate. Zhu Xiao Qian thought to himself, when did she learn business? But since it was like that, he should cultivate to strengthen his cultivation and make friends with powerful people.

I don't know about business, so...don't expect it to look realistic, especially people who know about business.
